The protest was <strong>supported by two of the three most popular parties in Spain, the Popular Party and Vox<\/strong>. The demonstration was well attended despite the inclement weather this morning in Madrid. <strong>Numerous Spanish flags were waved at the protest<\/strong>, and the National Anthem was played.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As usual, the government has only issued <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PSOE\/status\/1921169756175945935\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">disqualifications<\/a> against the democratic opposition protesters<\/strong>, criticism that the government never directs at its allies who call for tributes to ETA terrorists and events in which Spanish flags are burned. <strong><em>\"Today all those who reject all the progress made in this country are demonstrating,\"<\/em> said the socialist \u00d3scar L\u00f3pez<\/strong>, Minister for Digital Transformation. By \"progress,\" he must be referring to the fact that <strong>we are the country with the highest unemployment in Europe and the only one that has had a national blackout<\/strong>, to the government's corruption scandals, to the railway chaos, and to the <strong>government's attacks on the rule of law, judges, and the free media<\/strong>. And they still have the nerve to boast about this.<\/p>\n<p>You can see some images of this protest here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54509992448_d899a122eb_o.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54509992448_eac30fe838_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: @<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShaAcabat\/status\/1921155247038198105\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ShaAcabat<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54508858092_626e67cf35_o.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54508858092_111d9b37df_c.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/blck_wtr_\/status\/1921149365139198146\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@blck_wtr_<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54510080490_60e6e1e216_o.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54510080490_c198141454_c.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/blck_wtr_\/status\/1921153984741404751\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@blck_wtr_<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54509915429_89de4263ab_o.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54509915429_5afd1710be_c.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/pp_latina\/status\/1921219443339690400\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@pp_latina<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54509728226_685221f1fb_o.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54509728226_9aff8330ec_c.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Isabelperezmoi1\/status\/1921216404243505329\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@Isabelperezmoi1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Main image: PP Comunidad de Madrid.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The authoritarian drift of Pedro S\u00e1nchez&#8217;s government, his corruption scandals, and his incompetence have received a new response today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10398],"tags":[23245,732,2721,22896,11462],"class_list":["post-59540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-spain","tag-oscar-lopez-agueda","tag-madrid","tag-pedro-sanchez-castejon","tag-plataforma-por-la-espana-constitucional","tag-spain"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59540"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59540\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
